In 2025 Thrive’s clean energy projects generated 134,673 MWh of renewable electricity, a slight increase on 2024. That’s enough to power over 40,500 homes and deliver emissions reductions equivalent to 64,343 tCO2e.

Despite a less windy start to 2025, wind resource started to pick back up in the second half of the year and we were able to draw on our diverse portfolio of projects to help balance out the natural variability between technologies – upping generation from 2024.

A major highlight in 2025 was acquiring a 10MW ground mount solar farm in Essex in May which started generating later that month. Dunmow solar farm experienced a very productive, sunny first summer – generating enough clean electricity to power over 8,000 homes in June. We are currently exploring opportunities for the local community to own a stake in the project – delivering on our pledge to provide the community an opportunity to own a share of every new project we acquire.

“In 2025, Thrive’s projects generated enough clean electricity to power all the homes in a town the size of Southport. We continued diversifying the portfolio last year – adding a 10MW solar farm to our existing fleet of wind, solar and hydro projects. And we’re making good progress developing and building two new onshore wind farms – including our biggest project yet in Scotland. As these new projects are commissioned we’ll see our generation and impact growing materially over the next 2 years. Additionally, we continue to be focused on enhancing our approach to communities, local stakeholders and local wildlife at all our sites.”
